I'm rendering the menu through templatetags, The output is a unordered
list (without the first ul) like this:
<li>
<a href="...">Category 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="...">Subcategory1</a></li>
<li><a href="...">Subcategory2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
so what I need to translate Category 1, Subcategory1...
The list is built using a recursive function, and all the texts come
from the db.
This is the function, I'm sorry it's written in Spanish but I think
you can understan what I'm saying
def items(bloque, padre):
if padre == 0:
entradasMenu =
bloque.menu_set.filter(padre__isnull = True,
visible=True).order_by('orden')
else:
entradasMenu = bloque.menu_set.filter(padre =
padre,visible=True).order_by('orden')
salida=""
if entradasMenu:
for entrada in entradasMenu:
(1)----->>> salida += u"\t<li><a href='%s' title='%s'>
%s</a>\n" %( entrada.enlace, entrada.nombre, entrada.nombre )
#Si no tiene hijos cierro el li y si
no los meto aqui
tmp = items (bloque, entrada.id)
if tmp !="":
salida += u"<ul>%s</ul>" %
( tmp, )
salida += u"</li>"
return salida
In the line (1) is where the translation should be done.
Thank you.
